Turning to the closest enforcer he almost interrogates the poor orc: You there, you're an enforcer here right? I want to know where the other exits are, now!" leaving little room for interpretation or objections.

Leo walks over to the vomiting enforcer, puts his hand on the enforcers shoulder and says firmly: "Yes they're now pull yourself together and go to the kitchen door and guide the rest out." He turns to the remaining enforcers and his ensigns and orders: "All right listen up, we're going to get people out the kitchen entrance." He points to one of the enforcers: "You clear the way and keep the door open." He turns to the remaining two: "You start getting people out, go see who is still alive." Finally he starts giving orders to the officers: "Mordanna clear our path out of here, go with the enforcer to the kitchen exit. Grunk and Grimwold go help the enforcers with getting people out of here. Kimefe go help Horus secure any evidence on the bastard and when you're done get out. Everyone stay sharp there might me more assassins around." Done with his orders Leo waits for everyone to begin executing.

After having given his orders Leo keeps a watchful eye on the proceedings his trusted carbine ever ready to fire should it be required. Well at least everyone is acting as ordered. A good quality in the new ones. He thinks to himself.

Horus and Kimefe turn up an Autoscroll and the the bugbear's sword. Other than that he doesn't have anything on him.

The sword is a +1 Great MSword

Grunk moves to help the bouncers get the other customers out. Coordinating things in Orcish. Within a few minutes everyone's out the back and led through the narrow alley out into the street. At the same time security and fire control arrived and are working to put out the blaze. Men in black security uniforms have the area cordoned off, and are beginning to interview witnesses. Because the bar is mostly metal and stone, the blaze luckily didn't spread very far into the bar.

Sheriff Blackburn approaches Leo as soon as he sees him and says, "Mind tellin' me what in the hells is going on here?!"

"Good question Sheriff, I'm not even sure myself." Leo answers while trying to let the carbine causally hang by his side. "We sitting in a booth with two of our new possible members of the crew and my chief engineer walks up to the bar. The next I see is some bugbear attacking him and setting the place on fire." Leo shrugs his shoulders in an apology as he finishes.

"Nothin' but trouble." he says spitting on the ground near Leo's feet and then walking away muttering to himself. Around this time all the crew's communicators turn on. "This is seneschal Cinderbeard. The Headman requests your presence in his dwelling immediately."

Grimwold stands nearby the group just keeping a lookout for further trouble.
That bugbear was ready for us. A new group in port is suss but not enough for that reaction. He looks up at Horus " You reckon that bugbear new your team was gonna be here askin about his gang? Just seems like he had a tip off, being right there when we'd just started askin questions... " Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Hearing Grimwolds question Leo turns towards him and answers grimly: "I think you're right, he had properly been tipped off. He adds after a short pause: "I don't like this one bit." Thinking out aloud: "Who would have tipped them off?"

Working together the team manages to crack the encryption on the auto-scroll. The device is empty save for a single message.

"There's a team of FEF pigs gonna be askin' bout business round town the next few days. Keep an eye on 'em, and then take care of 'em. Payment's double usual, meet at these coordinates when the job's done:

X:199923034 Y:132039480 Z:129380039

- Bloodclaw"

Pilot DC 10:

Those are coordinates relating to a solar body, IE within a single solar system.

Pilot DC 15:

You'd have to run it through a computer to be sure, but you think that'd be on the far side of the system.

Pilot DC 22+:

Those coordinates would put you in the system's asteroid belt on the far side from the gate. There are several dwarf planet sized bodies in that part of the belt.

Hearing Grimwolds question Leo turns towards him and answers grimly: "I think you're right, he had properly been tipped off. He adds after a short pause: "I don't like this one bit." Thinking out aloud: "Who would have tipped them off?"

" Who knew you were comin here? That'd be a good place to start workin it out. Obviously Auriel knew... but I don't see how it would benefit him."

"I'm not so sure about that. If they are always there then the coordinates would not have been included in the message--they would have just met up and exchanged credits. But it's definitely a good place to start."

Your comms crackle to life again, this time the Captain's charming voice comes through. "I just received a formal complaint filed by the Constable. Something about mass death and destruction at your hands. What's going on down there? Any updates for me?"

As the party stands around talking things over, the headman's seneschal Botarr Cinderbeard approaches the group. He bows and addresses them, "The headman has reviewed the security footage, and found your actions entirely commendable, despite the constable's objections. Were you able to discover anything?" His face looks concerned, as he looks at the carnage that was the front of the bar. By this time the crowd is pretty thick around the security cordon. People are talking to each other hurriedly and covering their mouths. It's obvious that everyone is scared.

"Yes of course Lieutenant. Right this way." The dwarf leads the group back through the base, into the lavish area surrounding the Headman's living quarters. They pass through the marble and gold painted luxury back out onto an outdoor area. This landing pad is surrounded by a forcefield to keep the wind and sand out, and there is a large teleporter resting in the middle of it. "Here you are." he says to the crew, bowing. "Please let us know if you learn anything. We'll handle the situation down here for now.

The teleporter is basic planetary model, you've all worked with them before. It's easy enough to get yourselves back up to the Excelsior. The captain calls a meeting once everyone is back.

Sitting down at the meeting, Kimefe immediately takes apart her gun and begins cleaning the sand out of it. Although she seems entirely intent on her work she is actually listening to everything said very closely.

The captain was waiting in the bridge level conference room before any of you arrived. He simply nods to Kimefe when she comes in, respecting her apparent wish for silence. As the two new crew memembers enter, he stands and rebuttons his open uniform. Pulling it straight he walks over and offers his hand. "Greetings you two. I am Captain Alejandro Ageera, your new CO. I understand that you were previously Guild employees, correct?"
